Potato
petiole nitrate levels for plots amended with chicken manure were over 19,000 ppm at early tuber bulking, similar to levels produced by many field peas and vetches.
There was significant effect (p < 0.01) of water salinity on the formation of
petiole phytomass (PDP) and leaf phytomass (LDP) (Figure 2).
The first germination count was carried out concomitantly with the emergence test, and was the number of germinated seeds at 21 DAS, considering as germinated the diaspores that showed protrusion of the cotyledon
petiole.
The adjusted regressions between the
petiole of the 3rd leaf and the P doses applied to the soil were significant at 5% probability only in the second and third cycle (Figure 2) and the adjusted linear regressions between the midrib of the 7th leaf in function of P doses application in the soil were significant at 5% probability only in the third cycle (Figure 3).
The values of Na:Ca ratio of leaves, stem +
petiole, and absorption roots were higher for plants cultivated under salt stress (Figure 2B).
Number of leaflets-NLL showed positive correlation with girth (G=0.0564; P=0.0627), sex ratio-SR (G=0.3258; P=0.0903), number of leaves-NL (G=0.1278; P=0.0031),
petiole width-PW (G=0.1195; P=0.1770)
petiole depth-PD (G=0.0755; P=0.1494), rachis length-RL (G=0.5757; P=0.4434), leaflet width-LLW (G=0.0492; P=-0.0233), leaf area-LA (G=0.4748; P=0.4672), leaf dry weight-LDW (G=0.2926; P=0.2892), total leaf dry weight-TLDW (G=0.3129; P=0.3010), vegetative dry matter-VDM (G=0.1337; P=0.1868), bunch number-BN (G=0.2230; P=0.1694), average bunch weight-ABW (G=0.1137; P=0.0758), bunch dry weight-BDW (G=0.1899; P=0.1436), total dry matter-TDM (G=0.2980; P=0.2928), bunch index-BI (G=0.0716; P=-0.0012) and oil to bunch ratio (G=0.1627; P=0.0726).
Leaves alternate, spiral or distichous; petiolate or subsessile, presence of pulvinus; extrafloral nectaries absent or present, convex, sessile or stipitate, located between the pairs of leaflets or on the
petiole; leaflets 1-many pairs, papyraceous to coriaceous, elliptic to oblong, lanceolate to obovate, apex acuminate, rounded to mucronate, base oblique.
Young 4-5 cm long shoots with leaves were excised to 1.5 cm2 leaf, 1.0 cm long
petiole, and nodal explants.
